Asvasiran (Clofabosin: asvasiraserotin, Asvasiran: asvasirâl seroçn) is a closely related language to Clofabosin. It is somewhat mutually intelligible with Standard Clofabosin.

Sound changes

The gemination distinction in Middle Clofabosin turns into spirantization rather than vowel length: savaer "he writes" vs nibuir "he learns".

f -> h, and v disappears.

Asvasiran has diachronic vowel harmony manifesting in words like spwesîr "to feed", borrowed into Clofabosin as spesivir.

Grammar

Asvasiran does not have the timeless/aorist tense, using the future tense -cciet instead: Asvasirae nibuma huçicciet "Asvasiran is easy to learn".
